"Something up high, huh?" He looked up to try to see how far up he could see from here. "Still chasin' the moon?"
He wasn't mocking her, his tone gentle despite himself. He could hardly fault her: he wanted something near the top because his apartments were upper level. In the past he had enjoyed looking out over the neon on nights he stayed in, often imagining it was similar to what the Milky Way might look like in the rural parts of the country, where you could actually see the sky. (Realistically, he knew better, but a man could dream.) Even when he was at Kerry's the house was up a mountain, and he could see above the city.
"Think I might copy you. Didn't get to live in my high rise too long before I ended up here. Neon's always real pretty when it's down below." He paused a second in thought, then continued. "Think Nibbles might like the opportunity to see birds fly around, too." Surely this place wasn't killing any birds that were within an 18-mile radius of the city, right?
"They tell you which rooms're open? Or we gotta go on a scavenger hunt?"
